Does a counter neutralize a ETB effect?
Asked by MetalMeister 13 years ago
When I play a Snapcaster Mage and my opponent counters it with a Dissipate , can I use the ETB effect from the mage to flashback a Mana Leak to counter his Dissipate ?

When your opponent targets Snapcaster Mage with Dissipate , the Mage is still a spell on the stack. A permanent spell doesn't enter the battlefield until after it resolves (and if it gets countered, it won't resolve at all).

No, Snapcaster Mage never actually enters the battlefield and as such it's ETB Effect never triggers
